Small Business Spotlight: Hustler Hollywood

Hustler Hollywood — yes, that Hustler — is a nationwide chain of one-stop shops designed to bring out the naughty side in all of us. At over 8,000 square feet, the Fort Lauderdale location (1500 E. Sunrise Blvd.) is the second-largest in the entire chain. If you’re just going by your preconceptions about the magazine, you might think that there may not be much to offer, but you’d be wrong — over 2,000 square feet offers products of interest to men only — ranging from lubricants to sexual enhancement products like penis pumps, butt plugs, prostate massagers, and even adult movies.

I asked Hustler Hollywood Director of Marketing Allison Johnston about the products that are top sellers at the Fort Lauderdale location and her thoughts about each:

Nexus Ace Control Vibrating Butt Plug – “You can be discreet and flirty with it out in public. You hear about women wearing vibrating panties out to dinner, but there wasn’t anything similarly kinky for men. Butt plugs have always had such a large base so men can’t just wear them around but Nexus created this vibrating butt plug with a smaller base so you can. It also has a remote control so your partner can control the vibrations.” ($99.99)

Lelo Hugo Prostate Massager – “This product is brand new and it’s flying off the shelves! Men really like this product because it has eight settings and it’s curved, so it’s guaranteed to hit your prostate in any way you like.” ($219)

Hustler Anal Training Kit – “This product set consists of three different butt plugs and it’s really good for beginners, or for people who have never invested in their own set of plugs before. They’re made of silicone and they’re very safe. ($57.99)

Aneros Helix Syn – “This is our product buyer’s favorite, and it’s been selling well in our Fort Lauderdale store too. It’s very body-positive…it allows you to explore your perineum in a safe way while still stimulating your prostate.” ($69.99)

Hustler Hollywood’s hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 1 a.m., Monday-Thursday; 10 a.m. to 2 a.m., Friday-Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., Sunday. For more information, call (954) 828-9769.
